16 Walk-In Wardrobes to Give You Major Closet Envy
Be inspired by stellar closets big on space-saving, organisation and spades of style
“There is no standard or fixed size for built-in wardrobes,” says designer Vern Bong from New Nyew Design. That said, it means you can take the width of your wardrobe as far as the room extends. “Typically”, says Bong, “a bedroom in a build-to-order (BTO) HDB flat with a queen-size bed can accommodate a 2.4-metre-long wardrobe.” If you have two banks of wardrobe facing one another, allow enough space for a walkway in between. Mei Teh, Principal Design Consultant from Story of Us says: “900 mm is a comfortable distance between wardrobes that face each other.”
2. Another room devoted to storing closet staples, this sophisticated wardrobe designed by Design Intervention is encased in the same wood tone from floor to vertical surfaces for a streamlined look that makes the space seem larger.
4. A system of moving tracks allows access to the contents of three wardrobe units by design firm Architology.
5. Impossible to fit a walk-in within the confines of your bedroom? Try this closet concept by TylerMandic Ltd instead. It maximises the wide passageway to house a commodious wardrobe and sliding doors keep it discretely out of sight.
6. Closet Theory paid meticulous attention to this homeowner’s storage needs and incorporated tailor-made wardrobe fittings that range from scarf racks to adjustable shoe shelving and pull-out jewellery display drawers.
7. Suffering from closet envy yet? This should do it then: glittering chandelier, large glass-topped accessory island and full-height shoe shrines. Marks & Frantz Interior Design also placed mirrors on the cabinet doors to double the visual drama in this dreamy wardrobe.
